I'm sorry, can you say that again? I can't hear you properly with that dick in your mouth.

That was exactly what I had in mind writing the comment.

In the real world, you have to also factor in the auxiliary equipment to support the energy source.

In your particular example, the reactor and shielding makes it rather difficult to drive it around in a small car, and that's before we consider the implications of a rolling nuclear reactor in the hands of your average driver.

Here in the UK, we have an opt-in (except on a new driving licence application, defaults in unless you tick a box IIRC) organ donor registry which will use any bits I'm willing to donate (the lot, if it's of any use to anyone. What do I need it for? I'm dead at this point 😂).

It does require me to either die close enough to a hospital, or die in such a way that my meatbag can be kept on support until they can strip it for parts though. A dead human doesn't stay viable as parts for very long, and our NHS is collapsing before our very eyes (as is intended by the vile vultures in power, but that's another story entirely...)

I feel you. Our lives are at worth it, knowing we made others' lives better, that we saved a life.

I haven't donated tissue, (yet?) but I know I have been in the right place at the right time to save at least one life. I draw comfort from knowing that I made a positive difference somewhere.

Tha's a good egg, as we say round these parts. 🧡

Storing the power however isn't as simple. Hence converting energy to hydrogen and storing that. Maybe. That's the point of the pilot projects, to see how the economics could scale for storage.

Hydrogen is just acting as the battery in this case.

It comes down to how economically hydrogen can be stored and moved compared to storing the electricity directly.

You're right at a physics level, but the economics of energy storage might play out differently.
